The Ocean Tang, Tcuthis bahianus fishermen from Tortola, St. Croix, and St. Thomas. It is usu-ally taken in the native trap-baskets which are baited with largechunks of the white pulp of cactus plants and set in 4 to 10fathoms of water.

Text Appearing After Image:
THE TRUNK-FISHES Family LXIV. Ostraciidcs These fishes may at once be known by the short, cuboid,triquetous or pentagonal body, covered by a carapace formed offirmly united polygonal bony patches, the jaws, bases of thefins, and the caudal peduncle being the only parts free andcovered with smooth skin. The locomotion of the trunk-fishes is very peculiar. The pro-pelling force is exerted by the dorsal and anal fins, which havea half-rotary, half-sculling motion, resembling that of a screwpropeller; the caudal fin acts as a rudder, save when it is neededfor unusually rapid swimming, when it is used as in other fishes.The chief function of the broad pectorals seems to be that offorming a current of water through the gills, thus aiding inrespiration, which would otherwise be difficult on account of thenarrowness and inflexibility of the branchial apertures. Whentaken from the water one of these fishes will live for 2 or 3hours, all the time solemnly fanning its gills, and when restoredto
